This is Dicko. She is nine years old. Dressed in her brightest, finest clothing, made-up, and wearing the hallmark silver jewelry of the Fulani of Niger, Dicko readiers herself to walk the five or so miles from her village to the town of Torodi. In Torodi she will sell the fruit of the karey tree that she worked so hard to gather the past week.
